I am sure it will end up there as this is a very heated topic around the nation and other states feel as we do.
As for writing congressmen ans senators, we are left with nothing but the worst. McCain was all for amnesty last term around and felt they should all stay. Now he has commercials that he has confronted the president for not doing his job, when in fact it was Jane Brewer that did this and he is against illegal immigration now...what I am getting at is McCain is a flip flopper and so are the others that represent the state. I just used him as one example.
On another note, earlier you had mentioned that Joe was under investigation and his hands were tied according to 287(g) that was placed on hold...
I think Joe is still doing business as usual because he locks them up at this time(which skits the law, but it is legal) and they stay there until trial date.
I know he used to bus and fly them to the border patrol down south, who would then release them on the other side of the border after processing or he would wait for Border Patrol to come pick them up in town, which took hours sometimes.
I tried to find information pertaining to his raids and 287(g), but could not come up with a better guesstimate than what I mentioned above. I guess we will see what he does tomorrow...who knows at this point.
